Annual career record begins at AH 1292 (1875–1876)

Muhabere memuru · sumnu · 400 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1291 (1874–1875) in Bulgaristan. The first-salary field is 400 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian spans describe whole AH years; source Gregorian labels remain separate evidence.
